Refueling over Europe
A KC-135 Stratotanker from the 100th Air Refueling Wing at Royal Air Force Mildenhall, England, prepares to offload fuel to an F-15 from the 48th Fighter Wing at RAF Lakenheath, England. The F-15 joined other U.S. Air Forces in Europe aircraft from Aviano Air Base, Italy, and Spangdahlem AB, Germany, to provide security for the NATO Riga Summit that took place Nov. 28-29 in Latvia where the heads of state and government from the 26 NATO member countries met. Also providing support from USAFE were the 32nd Air Operations Center, the 1st Combat Communications Squadron, and the 616th Air and Space Communications Squadron from Ramstein AB, Germany.
